Confidence intervals for test scores and significance tests for test score differences: A comparison of methods

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1989
Two methods of setting confidence intervals for test scores and testing the significance of test score differences are compared with respect to their simplicity and the similarity of their results.

Testing Hypotheses with Estimated Scores

Biometrika, 1990
SUMMARY A method is proposed for testing hypotheses that is very much in the spirit of expected maximum log likelihood estimation and bears much the same relation to it as the likelihood ratio test methodology does to maximum likelihood estimation. For a single test parameter, the method amounts to basing critical regions on the difference between the ...

Scoring Candidates in the Adaptive Test

2018
In this paper, we present a methodology able to make an automatic and rapid evaluation of the candidates in adaptive tests. The objective is to evaluate candidate level related to specific skills using minimum number of asked questions. Our proposed approach is based on quadratic algorithm in terms of compatibility.

Testing for genetic association: A powerful score test

Statistics in Medicine, 2008
AbstractTo study the association between a candidate gene and a complex genetic disease, Pearson's χ2 statistic can be applied to an m × 2 contingency table, where the m categories correspond to m haplotypes or marker alleles. For m>2, two alternative approaches for Pearson's χ2 can be followed, which are more powerful if one haplotype or marker ...

Test Score Measurement and the Black-White Test Score Gap

The Review of Economics and Statistics, 2017
Research as to the size of the black-white test score gap often comes to contradictory conclusions. Recent literature has affirmed that the source of these contradictions and other controversies in education economics may be due to the fact that test scores contain only ordinal information.

A Note on Influence Assessment in Score Tests [PDF]

Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2006
Building on the work of Lustbader and Moolgavkar (1985), this paper studies influence diagnostics for score tests. The diagnostic proposed by Lustbader and Moolgavkar is reassessed, and alternative diagnostics are proposed. The new diagnostics are based on one-step approximations to the change in the parameter estimates, resulting from deleting one ...
